I'll second that. But very sad though for both of them.

He was probably undercover just "sniffing around" for clues...

Here comes the lynch mob again... (who of course have never been guilty of taking their eyes off their own kids for one minute)

That's a fair point but I don't think it's realistic to expect every minister to be an expert in his/her particular portfolio. Rather, the issue is having ministers who have the nous and leadership skills to lay down the policy direction and who can get the bureaucracy to work with them in implementing that. If it means firing or reshuffling some recalcitrant senior bureaucrats in the process then so be it.

Good point, but this line doesn't look very expensive compared to a lot of the stuff that's on offer in Japan's pet boutiques (eg $1,000 Bulgari collars etc).

Good to see that doggy style is still as popular as ever with Japanese women...

Eh? According to Oxford English Dictionary a "first lady" is "the wife of the President of the US or other head of state". The BBC has no problem describing Mrs Brown as Britain's first lady.

That's always amazed me too. I think it's a case of selective blindness...

Trips to Venus? Maybe that's where she found the "alien"?
At least she has a sense of humour which will probably come in handy during the days ahead. Good for her!

Could be embarrassing if it accidentally goes off in someone's LV handbag on a crowded train... (might "flush out" any would be gropers though :-))

Does it have a "turbo" button to mask the sound of No. 2's as well???

The self-righteous and uncompassionate attitude of some of the posters on this site is almost as shocking as the "crimes" they are so quick to condemn.

Not bad pegs though - they go all the way down to the ground.

So he rips off the name from an old Italian movie and changes the spelling to make it look original. Some great "stroke" of artistry.
Sounds like a Stoopid Basterd to me...

I agree that Roppongi is probably more dangerous, for Westerners at least. I've occassionally wandered around by myself late at night in Kabukicho, Nanba and other traditional red-light districts and I was mostly ignored more than anything.
